Skiing for a couple of days with Robert and Trevor from Canada in La Grave. The top parts of the area was pretty good but the lower sections got crusty from some really warm days earlier in the week. The warm weather created avalanches in almost all the classic couloirs down to the road. Luckily it cleared and it was nice to be back in La Grave meeting some old and new friends. Had a wonderful stay at Rasmus, Lotta and Carolina’s flat in La Terasse. And also thanks to Linus who drove down from Chamonix for a day and Pelle at skiers lodge for supervising..

2 great skidays and sore legs from h… Had a beautiful day yesterday, skiing Pas de chevre, Grand Envers and some variation on the east face of Brevent. Today we skied from col de Entreves straight down to Entreves glacier in excellent conditions. Great day finished of with Italian pasta on the Hellbronner mid station. Take care out there!

As usual we spend the spring in The Lyngen Alps and Tromsø this year. We are already getting booked by skiers who want to see the fantastic landscape and ski the beautiful mountains up here. April and May will be specially reserved for the Lyngen Alps. If you are interested in the skitouring in Lyngen you can visit www.ascentdescent.com where you will find a rough program and more details. Here are some pictures from last season.
On the drive out to the northern end of The Lyngen peninsula you find this old house… you have Ulstinden in the background wich is a great skitouring peak on the other side of the fjord.

On our way to ski the Westface couloir on Jiekkevarri (1834m), wich is the highest peak in Northern Norway. You find this peak on the southern part of Lyngen.
Taking a well deserved lunch break on Veidalsfjellet wich is a great skitouring peak on the northern part of Lyngen.
